cant find episode number

It is likely 1214.

I struggled with the same thing. Would it be possible to add something that draws more attention to this from a content author’s perspective? At a minimum, spit out the text of the shortcode on the episode edit screen that one can paste into any wysiwyg field. More involved would be to add an “Add Episode” button that provides some UI sugar to lookup the postID and auto-populate a default shortcode.

Just some thoughts. Otherwise, thanks for a great plugin!

The episode number (commonly known as the episode ID) is the uniquely assigned ID that WordPress gives as you create the episode. This isn’t really focussed on, other than in the URL when you are editing the episode.

There is a project on the go at the moment that is working on adding a UI for adding shortcodes to your post content inside the WYSIWYG editor. In light of that I am hesitant to add something like that inside SSP and would rather wait until that project (named Shortcake) lands in WordPress core as that will offer a standardised way of generating shortcodes via the UI. That would be much better than rolling my own solution, bloating this plugin and then changing it when Shortcake becomes a part of WordPress.

So keep an eye out for that ??
